I was looking for an appropriate thread to gush about the Richie Havens concert I enjoyed last night. The man is just the most incredible, warm, genuine, silly, sweet, intense performer, still. I first saw him live last year when he headlined at the Country Roads Festival in WV. I was taken with his warmth then and got to shake his hand and thank him.

Last night at the Black Rock Arts Center in Germantown, MD, it was just heavenly. It's a very new venue designed for really enjoying live performances - and I was in the front row ;-)

I just had to write this down somewhere because I'm still tingling with the sounds of his performance in my head.

Peace,
